ABSTRACT:
The Edgar Calhoun Collection consists of photographs and negatives compiled or taken primarily during the 1960s and early 1970s. Images include views of people, graves, and historic buildings and locations around the area of Kingsport, Tennessee. Included are shots of restoration at the Netherland Inn, Native American graves on Ridgefields, Ross Iron Works, Broad Street Methodist Church, a Flatboat adventure, and the Wills-Dickey Stone House along with many other images. Although most negatives have corresponding photographs, there are some negatives and photographs without equivalent images. The collection also contains nails from the iron forge near Rotherwood, an iron spike from the Carolina Clinchfield and Ohio Railroad, and ledger pages from the first Cotton Mill in Kingsport.

The Cotton Mill, located about 400 yards from the Rotherwood Bridge, was built by David Ross, Sr. David Ross, Sr., was an industrialist from Richmond, Virginia.
